Background: Little is known about the relationship between signal intensity patterns on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs).
Objective: In this study, the clinical, hormonal, histological features, and therapeutic responses were evaluated according to the T2 signal intensity in NFPAs.
Methods: This retrospective and multicenter study included a group of 166 NFPA patients (93 men, 56%, mean age 58.
Summary: Systemic thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a serious condition whose early treatment is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality. TMA with only renal involvement has been associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including lenvatinib, a drug used for certain advanced neoplasms. To date, TMA with systemic involvement associated with this drug has not been described.

Aim: To analyze our experience on the effect of cabergoline (CAB) on tumor remnant after initial surgery in NFPA patients.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective and multicenter study of NFPA patients with tumor remnant after surgery treated with CAB was performed.
Objectives: Graves' disease is secondary to the presence of anti-thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb), which stimulate thyroid hormones. TRab determination is crucial for etiological diagnosis. The objectives of this study were (i) to compare two methods for determining TRab by chemoluminiscence vs.
